The St. Charles Police Department announced the Citizens at Risk Entry System program designed to help residents or family members of those at risk, according to a news release.

The idea behind the program is to allow residents suffering from illnesses or mental health related disorders to register their information with the police department. The registry is intended to provide first responders with relevant information that could assist in providing a faster and more immediate resolution to CARES program participants.

Anyone wishing to sign themselves or a family member up for the program should visit the city of St. Charles website or email the police department at frontdesk@stcharlesil.gov. All information provided will be confidential and accessible only by first responders.
